I am trying trying to import java.lang.Math in Java on Eclipse and am getting the error in the title. Here is the beginning of my code:

import java.lang.Math;

This error is popping up under "package test1;"

Place the package declaration before the import statement

package hw1;

import java.lang.Math;

The import statement itself is unnecesary as all classes in java.lang are imported by default.

The package statement must be first in the file, before anything, even imports:

package hw1;

import java.lang.Math;

Plus, you don't need to import java.lang.Math, or anything in java.lang for that matter.

The JLS, Chapter 7 says:

A compilation unit automatically has access to all types declared in its package and also automatically imports all of the public types declared in the predefined package java.lang.
